Moonset & Sunrise
We've just has another super full moon when the moon makes its closest approach to earth getting within 360770km, approx 25km closer than its normal orbit.
I decided to head to Ngamutu beach and see if I could get some shots of the moon setting behind Paritutu before having to head to work. The moon was just stunning hanging suspended in the dawn sky above Paritutu and then as I finsihed taking shots of the moon I turned around to see the sun rising through the trees.
It really was a beautiful morning.
The full moon beckons
like a lover,
existence calling
love me, marry me,
come, live within my beauty.
